Bill Belichick.
I know you only were with him, I believe in one year in New England, you get back after he’s gone.
But do you think he’ll be coaching next year?
And what do you think the league should expect for that?
Uh I definitely think he’ll coach next year.
I think he’s too good of a coach not to be coaching.
Um, you know, I definitely think he has that.
It still, you know, he, I see him on like, what is it like Sunday night, Sunday, Sunday day football and then he’s doing like the main.
Yeah, so he’s, he’s definitely keeping himself sharp on the game, you know, I, I definitely, if he, if he wasn’t out, he’ll be like on a beach or somewhere on a boat, playing golf and stuff like that.
So, uh I definitely think he’s still trying to stay sharp on what’s going around, going on around the league and things like that just because I think he’ll be back in the league next year.
I think he’s like I said, people want, people have, have craved for his, his style of coaching.
So I definitely think he’ll be back in next year.

Yeah.
Uh, I got a chance to do a, a really cool commercial, um, with the, with the team, uh, you know, obviously about the backup plan, you know, obviously they’re, they’re giving their, their backup, doing the backup plan as far as giving people in general, uh, a chance for, in fantasy.
Um, so they’re doing a sweepstake for, I think, like 59 K trying to help people on the back end of their deal, their Fantasy League and, and I think it’s really a really cool, really cool thing.
Absolutely.
What are you most excited about for people who participate in this more?
So, just, uh, you know, it’s the, got, probably, got counted out earlier in the season, you know, thought they were gonna draft, you know, all these highlight players and, and, um, you know, and now it’s the, the back half of, of the, I guess Fantasy League, I don’t play fantasy but I understand the league is soon, uh, is heating up right now as far as the, the season stuff.
Uh, people getting a chance to, to, to step back up and, and make a, ap, a push in the, this later half of their, their season.
